\nA special photo-exhibition at ETRA Studio Tommasi Gallery, presenting “Everyday Middle East”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(<\/span>@everydaymiddleeast<\/a><\/strong>), the Instagram-based photographic project that seeks to\u00a0redefine the visual representation of the MENA region through social media.<\/strong> The aim of “Everyday Middle East” is simple: to share images of everyday life, and thus to work against the stereotypes and visual tropes that are so prevalent in mainstream media coverage of the region. There is no editor; instead, the feed is a look at life, unfiltered, through the eyes of 25 contributing photographers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 some of whom are among the best known names of international photojournalism.
\nThe project\u2019s founder is the Canadian photojournalist Lindsay Mackenzie<\/strong>, and among the collective\u2019s photographers are Tanya Habjouqa, Laura\u00a0Boushnak, Samuel Aranda, Ahmad\u00a0Mousa, Tamara Abdul\u00a0Hadi, Bryan Dention, Dalia\u00a0Khamissy<\/strong> and many others. The contributors include professionals working for the New York Times, the New Yorker, National Geographic, Getty Images, Panos Pictures, Rawiya Collective, and winners of World Press Photo and other prestigious awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

A selection of shots from\u00a0Everyday Middle East<\/strong>,\u00a0curated by Alessandra Capodacqua<\/strong>,\u00a0has been put together especially for Florence, which can be seen from\u00a011 April to 10 May<\/strong>, at\u00a0ETRA \u2013 Galleria Studio Tommasi\u00a0<\/strong>(Via della Pergola 57), in\u00a0an exhibition project curated by Federica Cirri.<\/strong><\/p>\n
